Product Details

About the Book

The Outsider is a #1 New York Times bestselling novel by legendary author Stephen King, masterfully blending gripping police procedural with unsettling supernatural horror. Set in the fictional town of Flint City, the story begins with the horrific murder of eleven-year-old Frankie Peterson, a crime that shatters the quiet community and sends shockwaves through everyone who knew the victim.

The evidence against Terry Maitland, a well-liked Little League coach, English teacher, and family man, appears overwhelming: eyewitnesses, fingerprints, and DNA all point directly to him. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose own son Maitland once coached, orders a swift and highly public arrest at a packed baseball game, certain the case is airtight. But as the investigation continues, Ralph discovers troubling evidence that Maitland was, impossibly, in two places at once at the time of the murder. Faced with a case that defies logic and everything he has ever believed about facts and evidence, Ralph is forced to team up with Holly Gibney, the brilliant, unconventional investigator from King's Bill Hodges trilogy. Together, they uncover a pattern of eerily similar crimes across the country, all connected to a mysterious, shape-shifting entity capable of creating perfect doppelgängers and feeding on human suffering. As the investigation pushes deeper into darkness that defies rational explanation, Ralph and Holly must confront a horror far beyond anything either of them has faced before.
